Samsung, being the largest manufacturer of South Korea, has an incentive to keep their production as in-house as possible. Which is why they’re reluctant to license technology that they can build themselves, such as cameras.

Flatpak being securely sandboxed by default is both its biggest strength and its worst point of contention. The XDG is still scrambling to replicate the permission requests paradigm from Android on the Linux desktop.

That reminds me, is Flatpak packaging CLI tools already?

Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that’s a galaxy brain move

My municipality does something similar but with the procedure being backwards - giving tax breaks to owners of one single property, that are, of course, unavailable to owners of multiple houses

We should be boycotting all art and entertainment from Big Media in its entirety, but nobody is willing to do so

Any plans to start saving up to move elsewhere, by the way?

It might be my inner prescriptivist at work, but while I understand the need for a singular they, I absolutely loathe it’s accompanied with a singular are. If the language is being reformed, why not take a page out of AAVE and start using “they’s” and “you’s”?

Since engaging in society means indirectly endorsing all of its evils, and even interacting with questionable people is functionally equivalent to platforming them, the only ethical thing to do is to become a self-sufficient hermit. Problem is, there aren’t enough terrains on this planet to allot one fully decked farm for each inhabitant…

Ah, been like that for roughly the last six months. Too busy to take free time, too burned out to use the free time when it comes.

I have, like, three stacks of neurodivergence, but I also have some sense of altruism and am aware of my limitations. So, in order to avoid imposing myself too much on people and ending up as an involuntary jerk, I just avoid interacting with others as much as possible, just in case.

To be fair, he’s got a day job as an IT architect in an university, so I think he’s set in regards to finances. Codevelopers on the other hand, those would come handy - especially for knowledge transfer

My relatively obscure and hopeless choice is Golden Sun 4

“Could you please not use the phone? Gotta dial up to connect to the BBS”

Considering that I don’t have a car, I’ve been boycotting most media and many brands for years, and I have no friends because nobody shares the same ethics as I do? Yeah every purchase is and should be a moral dilemma. (The proper solution is to drop society and go raise my own crops in the middle of the mountains, someday I’ll save up to do just that)

No joke, it’s pretty much impossible to find a car by a manufacturer that didn’t benefit from human rights abuses one way or another. Most European cars are from companies founded (or funded) by Nazi Germany or its axis friends. Same goes for Japanese cars. In the US, either the founder is a seething racist (like Ford and Tesla) or the company has been collaborating too much with the army (like Jeep). And don’t get me started with China.

@modev I’m genuinely surprised to see so few C courses integrating standard C safety tools, such as linters. It’s extremely easy to write unsafe C on the beginning, heck I passed years avoiding loops like the plague because I didn’t manage to write them correctly without going on an off-by-one error. Something that a linter would have caught and fixed for me.

Time to /r/insert plenty of /r/references to /r/unrelated /r/subreddits just in case

At long last, some theming support for Adwaita! I really missed being able to change colors, at the very least

Many local governments have lists of local businesses to support, you could try finding your city’s municipality’s website and see if there’s such a list.
